Robert,

RE:" I'm wondering if a three month cycle time is possible for step and scan machines. This doesn't seem like a realistic goal to me considering they now take over 40 weeks to build."

I had the same thoughts! From David's posts, I'm starting to think it takes 40-50 weeks for the whole cycle, but only part of that time is in the bays (testing??). If the bays have been the bottleneck, then 50 bays with 13 weeks in a bay allows a 200 unit annual capacity if there is plant space and labor for the other 27 weeks of the cycle.
